Alan,



I just installed a new set of Koenig GT-R alloy wheels on my 91.  I 

purchased them from Discount Tire Direct with a set of Yokohama T4 tires. 

 I'm very pleased with the setup and I've got nothing but great responses 

from everyone seeing them.  You can check them out at:

or I have a few shots on a web page I've been working on at:

The pictures need to be a little bit sharper but I'm working on it.



I chose these wheels because they aren't too radical and fit the Roadster 

profile nicely.  In fact they are very similar to the 1997 Miata STO wheels 

except the Koenigs have a machined rim and painted spokes versus being all 

painted.  They weigh about 6 pounds more than the 91 14" alloys.  I haven't 

noticed any difference in ride quality and with the wider more performance 

oriented tires I'm getting a lot more grip.
